Life is a river/ Flowing around obsticles/ Seeking out the sea/ This life is a blessing and we must embrace it. We must learn to embrace the flow knowing that in the end we will end up in the sea.

Rivers must flow and stay in motion or they will go stagnent and kill everything that is around them.
